## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this display hdmi input without any raspi/usb connection? can i use this as a simple hdmi monitor without touch?**
A: As long as the device outputting the signal isn't trying to do a resolution greater than 800x480, which tends to rule comfortable use of most modern OSs, but there are plenty of other applications where this is perfect.

You just have to supply external power, and find some comfortable way to hold/mount the display.

**Q: can i power it with a usb battery pack? basically, i want to connect it to my DSLR as an ext monitor**
A: How long will an external battery pack keep the screen turned on? For example, if I get an Ankey Portable Charge 3350mAh, it provides an output of 5V. How long will this last me?Thank you!

**Q: it works like a monitor?**
A: It is a monitor. The only difference is that it is small.

**Q: Does it work with the raspberry pi 3 model b?**
A: Yes, it could for raspberry pi 3 model b. Thanks

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid, bright, works great.
*by  on Reviewed in the United States February 9, 2018*

This little screen is fantastic, and a pretty dang good deal, to boot! I wanted to make myself a little portable Pi-based machine to take with me on the go, and a 5-inch screen seemed just about the right size. There are plenty of choices here on Amazon, but I decided to give this one a shot since it could also be used as a regular HDMI monitor.As the instructions note, this will not work with your Pi right out of the box; it needs some drivers and configuration settings tweaked first, or it'll light up and look like it's broken at first. A helpful note card included with the display lists a couple websites - one is the company's wiki that lists step-by-step instructions on setting things up, and the second is a helpful youtube video that gives a full run-down as well. Following the instructions on the wiki was a snap - Just install the latest Raspbian, copy/paste some configuration settings, clone Elecrow's git repository, run the binary, and reboot. Voila, a bright, sharp, vibrant display, ready to go.I'm currently attempting to find a nice case to put it all in for safer transport, but even without that, I'd say this is a great choice if you just want a small touchscreen display for your Raspberry Pi.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love it

Works great with my cyber deck & was easy to set up

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Comprehensive Review of the Elecrow 5” Touchscreen: Highs and Lows
*by  on Reviewed in the United States February 28, 2024*

I recently purchased the Elecrow 5” touchscreen, intrigued by its compact size and compatibility promises with Raspberry Pi devices. Here’s my detailed experience with it:Performance & Usability:The touchscreen generally performs well, providing a crisp and bright display that enhances my projects' interactivity. The screen resolution is commendable, delivering clear and vibrant visuals, which is a plus for anyone looking to add a display to their Raspberry Pi.Power Requirements:However, it’s important to note that this screen requires additional power to function optimally. It isn’t a simple plug-and-play solution with the Raspberry Pi, as one might expect. This means you’ll need to plan for an additional power source or a more robust setup than initially anticipated, which could be a slight inconvenience for those expecting a straightforward setup.Connectivity & Integration:Setting up the screen wasn’t entirely seamless. While it’s marketed as compatible with Raspberry Pi, the lack of plug-and-play functionality means you'll spend extra time on installation and possibly troubleshooting. This aspect could be improved for a better user experience.Screen Performance:The screen's brightness is impressive, offering clear visibility in various lighting conditions. However, I’ve noticed intermittent lagging, which might not affect all users but is worth mentioning for those who require consistent, real-time responsiveness.Overall Experience:Despite these challenges, the Elecrow 5” touchscreen is a solid choice for hobbyists and developers looking to enhance their Raspberry Pi projects. The extra effort in setup and power arrangements is a small trade-off for the screen’s overall quality and performance.Recommendation:I recommend this product with the caveat of the mentioned issues. It’s suitable for users who are prepared to handle the extra steps for power and those who can tolerate occasional screen lags. If you’re looking for an affordable, bright, and generally reliable touchscreen for your Raspberry Pi, this is a worthy option, provided you’re ready to tackle its quirks.
